Pride keeps you from dealing with truth. It distorts your vision. You never change when you think everything is fine.
And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to thei...
The possibilities for offense are as endless as the list of relationships, no matter how complex or simple.
From Am I Offended? by John Bevere on YouVersionAs I travel across the United States ministering, I have observed one of the enemy’s most deadly and deceptive traps. It imprisons countless Christians, severs relationships, and widens our existing breaches. It is the trap of offense.
“By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.” (Hebrews 11:23)
Not afraid. Those two words sum up how Moses grew to express such greatness. The parents who gave him life were “...
“And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.” (Hebrews 11:11)
Our next exhibit in the Hall of Heroes illustrates this truth in a dramatic fashion. This hero’s name is Sarah. She started life as Sarai, and she married Abraham, who, again, began life ...
“By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” (Hebrews 11:8)
Your life of faith as a kingdom hero will also involve how you choose to live. We read in Hebrews 11:9 that “by faith [Abraham] lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in...
“By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.” (Hebrews 11:7)
Many of us fail to live our lives as kingdom heroes simply because our faith has dried up. We go through the motions only to discover tha...
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)
Before we look closely at the lives who modeled faith as told in Hebrews 11, I want to give you a simple definition of faith:
Faith is acting like God is telling the truth. It&rsq...
If there’s anything my life has taught me, it’s this: setbacks are not the end of your story. They often feel final, painful, or discouraging, but God has a way of turning what looks like defeat into the very soil where new beginnings grow. Some of the greatest breakthroughs in my life came right after seasons I thought w...
If there’s one thing we all have in common, it’s this: we will encounter difficult people. They show up at work, in families, in friendships, and sometimes even in church. Early in my life, I thought the solution was to avoid them, fix them, or outmaneuver them. But over the years, God’s taught me that dealing with ...
For a long time, I thought I could control far more than I actually could. Maybe you’ve been there too, believing that if you plan well enough, work hard enough, or pray long enough, everything will fall into place exactly the way you want it to. But life has a way of reminding us that we’re not as in control as we think.
...Life doesn’t always play fair. I learned that early. There were many days growing up when I wondered why I got such a raw deal. Why did I have to grow up in a dysfunctional home? Why was my father an alcoholic? Why was he so cruel to my mother? Why were we so poor? I didn’t ask for any of it, and I certainly didn’t ...
I’ve learned over the years how quickly life can shift without warning and without asking my permission. Maybe you’ve noticed the same thing. One moment everything seems steady, and the next moment the ground beneath your feet changes. I’ve walked through seasons where the path I imagined for my life suddenly crumbl...
What are you convinced of? Your identity was established before you began.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” — Jeremiah 1:5
Before you performed. Before you proved yourself. Before you figured anything out, God already knew you. Set you ap...
Alignment doesn’t just happen. It is built.
And one of the biggest ways we build it is through renewing our minds.

Sometimes the tension you feel is because what you read in the Bible has not yet become you...
Reconnect with yourself. I know that might sound strange. But stay with me.
The Noise We Live In
We are constantly doing, solving, leading, deciding, showing up for everyone around us. And somewhere in all of that… we lose ourselves. We don’t pause. We don’...
If I’m being honest, for a long time I thought what I needed was more discipline. More structure. More consistency. More trying harder. But the deeper I walked with God, and the more honest I became, I realized something: What I needed most was not discipline. What I needed was reconnection.
The Perfo...
I think God has such an amazing sense of humor. Honestly, He is hilarious. So one random day, I’m seated doing my daily Bible reading. I’m in Romans, just minding my business… and then I land on this: “…for whatever is not from faith is sin.&rdquo...
“What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord.” Acts 22:16 (NLT)
Giving my life to Jesus was the best thing I’ve ever done. When I repented of my sin and asked Him to save me, that was only the beginning. Salvation isn’t the final destination; it’s the key that unlocks an excit...
“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help…” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NLT)
In the past, I’ve really struggled with isolation. Ever since my parents divorced and my dad left, I’ve had a hard time trusting anyone. When I was a teenager, I tended to find myself in ...
“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” Psalm 119:105 (NLT)
Journaling isn’t the only practice that’s helped me chart a new course for my life after my transformative encounter with the Lord. Honestly, writing out your feelings might be momentarily therapeutic, but the process of journaling alone won’t get you thro...
